DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to the drawings and initially to FIG. 1, a manufacturing flow chart of the present invention is shown, wherein a three dimension computer model full size grading system for processing a shoe model by a triangular geometry mode in accordance with the present invention can be used to efficiently replace current complicated working processes and designs of the programs of the C.A.D./C.A.M. (Computer Aid Design/Computer Aid Manufacturing) which are operated manually by engineers. In addition, the three dimension computer model full size grading system for processing a shoe model by a triangular geometry mode in accordance with the present invention can be easily combined with the 3D (three dimension) scanning and the automatic grading of C.A.M. so that a rapid prototype machine or a C.N.C. working machine can use the system to mass produce shoe models, thereby increasing the production.
The three dimension computer model full size grading system for processing a shoe model by a triangular geometry mode according to the present invention comprises the following steps: (a) a leading processing work, (b) a main processing work; and (c) a trailing processing work.
Referring to FIG. 2, the leading processing work includes: receiving triangular data which are generated by three dimensional (3D) scanning (S.T.L. formats) or by a C.A.D. curve transformation, performing division of a common member, selecting characteristic lines, filling a grading table as shown in FIG. 5 and a geometric relation table as shown in FIG. 6 by a user, and inputting and storing the grading table and the geometric relation table in a data base.
Referring to FIG. 3, the main processing work includes: inputting gauges of each engineering diagram by the user, selecting each grading item, and inputting parameters as shown in FIG. 7.
The system according to the present invention then automatically reads numbers and dimensions of each size stored in the grading table, then reads data of each file and data of stick points of the common member stored in the geometric relation table, and then serially performs a grading operation processing on each geometric file of each size.
The grading operation processing of the main processing work includes the following operations:
1. non-proportional contraction/magnification of X, Y, and Z;
2. multiple size stepwise share of air bags, oil bags, shoe shanks (for NIKE) or shoe torsion bar (for ADIDAS), ornaments, logo, etc.;
3. side wall thickness fixing;
4. out sole rubber thickness fixing;
5. toe spring setting;
6. arc fixing;
7. out sole thickness fixing; and
8. width fixing between destined characteristic lines.
The orders of the above-mentioned operations can be changed arbitrarily.
Then, the system according to the present invention will build constraints in the whole group of triangular geometry to satisfy each grading specification in a local variation manner, then finds geometric discontinuous positions which are caused by the common member for performing a repair work, and finally stores results of operation in the data base to respectively mate with positions of respective sizes.
FIG. 8 shows a status before grading, wherein the ellipse represents a common member, and the peripheral triangles represents the body of the shoe model.
FIG. 9 shows a status after grading, wherein the size of the common member is not changed, but will create a displacement, and the size of the body is changed according to the value of contraction/magnification of X, Y, and Z, and will form clearance as shown in FIG. 10. The system according to the present invention will record the relative positions of adjoining triangles before grading so as to derive values of compensation after grading according to the clearance of adjoining triangles.
FIG. 11 shows a result of compensation of displacement for the triangles with clearance.
Referring to FIG. 4, the system according to the present invention can provide an efficient automatic grading function. The trailing processing work includes the following steps: setting C.A.M. parameters of base sizes, and storing the C.A.M. parameters of the base sizes. The inner program can then analyze geometric members being used, and derive geometric members of new sizes from the data base for updating the geometric members of the new sizes. The system according to the present invention can then automatically calculate data of dimensions of all sizes for manufacturing a shoe model.
The data of dimensions calculated in the trailing processing work can be used in a N.C. program so that a C.N.C. working machine can employ the N.C. program to work a model. In addition, the trailing processing work supplies data after grading to a rapid prototype (R.P.) machine so that the rapid prototype machine can use the data after grading to work a model.
In such a manner, the system of a triangular geometry mode type according to the present invention has a good ability of local zone variation so as to perform a local zone grading of the shoe model. Therefore, the present invention uses a triangular geometry mode to develop a three dimension (3D) computer model full size grading system which can be used for performing a local zone grading of the shoe model.
Accordingly, the system according to the present invention only needs one user and one set of equipment without having to install four to six sets of equipment used by four to six users as disclosed in the conventional shoe model system, thereby greatly decreasing the cost of the equipment and software.
In addition, the system according to the present invention only needs one working day without having to spend one week to two weeks of working days as disclosed in the conventional shoe model system, thereby greatly shortening the time for manufacturing, and thereby enhancing the efficiency of production and fabrication.
Further, the software of the present system can execute an automatic calculation, thereby obtaining a product with a high quality and stability.
Moreover, the system according to the present invention only needs one week for training a user without having to spend six months of training time as disclosed in the conventional shoe model system, thereby shortening the time for training a user.
It should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
